Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser

Can this cleanser go bad? I've only had it for a few months and noticed that it started to turn a yellowish color. I checked and it's for sure the liquid that has changed colors not the bottle. Could it be that I leave it in a place where it sits in in-direct sunlight throughout the day? I didn't think cleansers and salicylic acid products could oxidize.. Wondering if I should toss or use cautiously. *Ignore the writing on the bottle. I wrote "only use at night" so that my bf would know that it's a cleanser with active ingredients vs a regular cleanser 🤭

OMG! That could be. Please never put whatever skincare it is direct to sunlight.

It was covered by shadows and blinds on my window but I guess the sun is just too strong 😥

it probably did oxidize. for active ingredients you usually want to keep them out of the sun.

It was covered by the shadow of other products and blinds on my window but I guess that wasn't enough!

ohh yes it changed color. Products with acids and vitamin C and other cosmetics must be well protected from sunlight (in addition this product its packaging is transparent) it would have to be an opaque bottle so that the light does not pass through, neither the heat is good nor the humidity in the cosmetics. I hope my advice will serve you, greetings

Yeah I think it must've been the heat from the sun since I keep my blinds on my window down all day. Thank you!

Yeah it probably oxidized and generally the products have the expiration dates as well and shelf life from 6-12 m
